I just realized that I may have misunderstood - rereading your message, 
it looks like you are getting the error when you just even try to run 
the evaluator script at all.  Sorry for the misunderstanding.  Here are 
a couple of other things you could try, in that case.

First, what versions of .NET and Ruby are you running?  We have tested 
against Microsoft .NET 1.1 and the latest Pragmatic Programmers Ruby 
1.8 installation download.

Second, would you try this script and see if it works?

	require 'dotnet'
	dotNet = SocketDotNet.startNew
	dotNet.Application.Run(dotNet.Form.new)
	dotNet.exitDotNet

The socket version has a different threading system than the direct 
version that's implicitly loaded into the globals.

Thanks,
